What kind of arrangement did Alauddin Khalji make to control market prices?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Supervision and fixed price system
Alauddin Khalji created a regulated market system in Delhi. Officials supervised markets, recorded prices, inspected weights and punished hoarding or dishonest trade. Fixed or controlled prices helped maintain supplies at relatively low rates, especially for the army and urban population. This was not a completely free market or merely a maritime tax, so A is correct.
